Re: [smime] S/MIME publishing mailing list2015-01-25 07:10:58Hi Russ, Not sure what the problem is other than end users largely don't seem interested unless required. My cert is attached if anyone wants to switch to S/MIME. You can set up the list to require certs to post. That would be an interesting step to take. I'm using Thunderbird which offers great support. Outlook's pretty good as well. Several of the CAs have long offered S/MIME optimized certs. By the way, that funky CPOP/CMTP spec from LegalBox is still floating around ITU-T. It didn't get enough support to get adopted. It's prospects at this point are uncertain. -t On 2015-01-25 3:23 AM, Russ Housley wrote: Michael:The really sad fact is that e.g. Mozilla's S/MIME support was much better in Netscape Communicator in 1998. Back then you could simply retrieve the e-mail cert via LDAP. Anyone remember signed attribute 'userSMIMECertificate' which the user could create and send himself?When the S/MIME specifications were developed, LDAP was expected to be the main way that certificates get distributed. That part just never happened.... Russ _______________________________________________ smime mailing list smime(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/smime
